Without international players Tziolis, Michailidis, Koutsias, Tsiggaras, Ingason, Wague and Colak, but with an appetite for hard work, the PAOK squad gathered for training at Nea Mesimvria on Friday (13.11).

After the players submitted their Covid-19 tests, the players rolled up their sleeves and got down to work. The program began with some running exercises, rondo and ball games. The players were then split into three groups and worked firstly on their passing within restricted spaces, then in larger spaces before switching to work on attacking build-up play, and transitions from defense to attack and vice-versa.

Douglas Augusto did not take part in the final part of the training session as a precaution due to feeling some discomfort in his groin. The Brazilian’s status will be assessed in the coming days.

Dimitris Giannoulis appeared out on the practice pitches for the first time since his injury and did some individual work, while Leo Jaba also continued his individual program as he steps up his fitness training after recovering from Covid-19

Finally, Enea Mihaj continued his first stage rehab program following knee surgery in Italy.

On Saturday (14.11) the Double-headed Eagle squad will train at 11:30 in Nea Mesimvria.
